Makabayan slams Senate hearing as ‘political demolition job’

admin June 4, 2026

THE Makabayan bloc on Thursday condemned the use of the so-called “Blue Ribbon Committee” hearing, saying it was being used as a platform for political demolition jobs, unsubstantiated accusations and manufactured narratives against progressive leaders and former Makabayan representatives.

In a statement, Reps. Sarah Elago, Antonio Tinio and Renee Co expressed concern over hearings being conducted amid the ongoing leadership dispute in the Senate.

“Sa gitna ng nagpapatuloy na sigalot sa liderato ng Senado, nakababahala na may mga pagdinig na itinutulak sa ilalim ng kaduda-dudang awtoridad at pagkatapos ay ginagamit upang magpakalat ng mga alegasyong walang sapat na ebidensya. Kahiya-hiya sa mamamayan ang isang hearing na batbat ng tsismis, haka-haka, at pampulitikang agenda,” they said.

The group also questioned the evidence presented during the hearing.

“Ang ipinresentang ‘ebidensya’ ay hindi ebidensya kundi puro kwento, insinuation, at tahasang kasinungalingan. Lalong nawawalan ng kredibilidad ang mga tinaguriang testigo dahil kitang-kita ang pagbabago ng kanilang script depende sa umiiral na pampulitikang alyansa. Pabago-bago ang mga kasinungalingan depende sa kung sino ang kakampi at sino ang kalaban sa kasalukuyang agawan sa kapangyarihan. May mga pangalang nawawala at may mga bagong pangalang lumilitaw depende sa pangangailangan,” the statement read.

The Makabayan bloc said the developments were proof of what it described as dirty politics.

“Ito ang pinakamalinaw na patunay na maruming pamumulitika ang nagaganap. Weather-weather ang kanilang mga akusasyon. Hindi ito seryosong imbestigasyon kundi isang demolition job na nakabalot sa anyo ng Senate hearing,” the group said.

The bloc also denied attempts to link it to the flood control scandal.

“Muli, mariin naming pinabubulaanan ang anumang pagtatangkang iugnay ang Makabayan sa flood control scandal. Walang flood control projects, infrastructure allocations, o project insertions ang Makabayan, kaya wala ring anumang kickback na maaaring matanggap,” it said.

The group also called on the Senate to address its internal issues.

“The Senate should get its house in order. Ang mga pasilidad at pondo ng bayan ay hindi dapat ginagamit para sa mga bogus na hearing, bogus na testigo, at bogus na ebidensya,” the statement said.

“The Makabayan bloc will not be intimidated by fabricated allegations, political harassment, or smear campaigns. Patuloy naming igigiit ang katotohanan at pananagutan habang naninindigan kasama ng mamamayan laban sa korapsyon at pang-aabuso sa kapangyarihan.”
